Outlining your steps makes the process seem not unlike solving a Soduku puzzle.<br /><br />My wife and I were married in a simple civil ceremony at the Richmond, Surrey registry office. I remember that when my father tried snap a photo of the signing of the book, the registrar wouldn&#39;t allow it and insisted that we pose instead for a faux-signing on a blank page. I never understood the reason. <br /><br />Thanks, Brett, for your generous comments on my blog too. I&#39;m still unsure of this weekend&#39;s tintype but as you know some photos will never be a closed case.<br /><br /><br />Mike Brubakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599702957095945938.post-26600376475312357432012-08-27T02:44:46.694+12:002012-08-27T02:44:46.694+12:00As usual : an object lesson in photographic resear...As usual : an object lesson in photographic research.
